This book is amazing from beginning to end. Action-packed with characters I actually cared about. I usually read SFF, but I might have to change my norm if books are this good!

This started a bit slow but boy we took off after the first few chapters. Heist after heist with higher and higher stakes. That was probably what I liked most actually. The twists and turns to the heists were perfectly excecuted. Sadly, the final plot twist was a bit predictable, though the cliffhanger was criminally wicked. Despite being a plot-focused thiller, the story still has some pretty interesting characters. Ross, Noelia and Kyung-soon were my favourites. Some of the others were sadly a bit bland and
Spoiler I found Devore suspicious from the beginning.
Overall this was a great start to the series though!

Can't wait for the next book!

This was good and very fun to read. The start was a little slow (makes sense, needed to set the story), but once the gambit began it was very exciting. I loved the twists and following Ross through the different challenges/phases.
I semi-predicted something with the ending, but the other twist I did not see coming, and the cliffhanger... I need more information! I would like more details on that last chapter (I feel like everything happened so quickly, I may need to re-read it again just to make sure I fully understand it all).
